Key job responsibilities
Why AWS?

We pioneered cloud computing and never stopped innovating — that’s why customers from the most successful startups to Global 500 companies trust our robust suite of products and services to power their businesses.
A day in the life
As a Software Development Manager in Frontier ADC, you will build and lead a team that expands AWS services into GovCloud and isolated regions while improving the resiliency and operational efficiency of our existing services. You will own the team’s strategy, roadmap, staffing, execution, and operational performance. You will use customer feedback and operational data to make decisions, manage risks, and communicate progress to senior leaders and partner organizations.
You will lead the development and operation of AWS Frontier AI services that enable customers to use generative AI and agentic capabilities in secure environments. These environments create engineering challenges involving infrastructure scale, service parity, deployment automation, security compliance, and long-term operations. The Frontier ADC team resolves operational issues, automates repetitive work, builds customer solutions, executes security campaigns such as blocked-software remediation and host patching, and delivers service-parity programs.
AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we’re the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we’re looking for talented people who want to help.
